Big Cash Prizes an indie outfit from Stoke on Trent England made this superb video with next to nothing except their true belief in their own immortality as a fucking great band from Northern England. The sound they created goes with the indie scene that emerged from this rotten city a few years back and goes hand in hand with bands like Agent blue (a.k.a The Sport), New Education, Elvis, Motorhead and (are u avin a laf) new boy Robbie Williams of Take That and Fuck Off (dare i say it) F.A.M.E.
Spot the Difference...
Take a look you’ll be pleasantly surprised…Im gona start a campaign to get them back in the Underground (Hanley, Stoke) or Sugar Mill (Hanley, Stoke) b4 Christmas right here and now!!! (Put me and Duncan Hardy on the guest list)

They can go fuck em selves!!!!

This track was the warm up tune for The Stone Roses gigs and is an all time classic acid house dance track circa 1989. A Guy Called Gerald also remixed the Fools Gold track by The Stone Roses which is sound, every time i hear it on Napster it takes me back to the raves and indie dance clubs of London where it was played in the early 90′s.
Ian Brown has been a character in my life since 1989.
Front man of the Infamous and much respected band The Stone Roses he has recently been evolving his intellect, instinctual pulse and famed talent as a solo artist. His latest single is regularly played on mainstream radio and hes generally considered a masterful psychedelic guru..just listen to F.E.A.R. or any of the tracks of Solarized and you just know hes got it still just as much as when they led the Madchester Scene as the chief protagonists and much more talented than the scally bands that all hit the big time (like are you havin a fuckin laugh) Northside, The Inspiral Carpets (good at the time if you were on acid), The Charlatans (still going strong), The Happy Mondays (Bezz? Shaun and all his e-head brothers on guitar and some mad crack whore like female vocalist who i never liked).
Well Brown still remains and is going strong (whatever happened to Squire? Seahorses..i never even heard one good track!) and will remain a god like figure in many of our minds and will always be the brown in Sheilas sugar or was that Sallys cinnamon?
We all hope Ian Brown keeps the faith and sticks to his guns we’ll all be listening; he once said that the worst thing that ever happened to him was nearly losing his council house in Manchester not sure if that was before he got locked up in Strangeways for air rage offence when he said he was gonna cut of an air hostess’s hands…reckon his past those episode’s now and can only grow stronger. Look out for him on tour and buy his new single..the dream lives on.
Heres his best song of his new album – My Way – Stellify
Footnote: This footage was the first time most of us in Britain got to see Ian Brown and its testimonial to his guile as he single handily tells the bbc where to stick it…
Well people before I begin I would just like to apologise for the lack of contribution towards this site over the past few months. I have been very busy with things out of my control, but you don’t wanna know about that rubbish!!! LOL.
RIGHT!!!! Over them past few Months a fookin amazing band of whom I have posted about before and I do hope that you did manage to check them out when and whilst they were touring, have been progressing and sailing along to the appreciation that they should have….. NEW EDUCATION…. They have just released there New Single ANOTHER MIRACLE on the 13th of July, they also had a very honest write up in NME and well lets say that it was how a write up shud be, no rubbish about how bands sound like another band or there a new type of music.
Here is The Track Another Miracle
Here is a lovely piece of footage Live In The Underground Stoke Enjoy The song is called TODAY
Also whilst this post was under construction it has come to my attention and hopefully yours another graceful 2 page Write up about them in NME has been done you can see this in the 1st of August issue pages 18 & 19 possibly one of the top dollar write ups I have seen. I sincerly hope you go and buy it.
You can check there tuneage via their page on Myspace.!!!!!!!!
In my opinion I’m hoping this is the start of something great for the Music scene. A band that dunner fuckin moan about the same old crap, remember you only live once, times ARE fuckin hard and life is tough, so get a grip and get use to it!, make the most of what you have not what you cant!
This track appeared on the Coming Up Album 1997. I think, as you’ll agree, this is Brett Anderson’s best effort…i just love that downbeat guitar crashing around as he sings his heart out about London’s down and outs.
Apart from looking like a cross between Beetlejuice and that bitch off “Through the Cakehole” this dude has serious stlye and charisma. Robert Smith and The Cure for those few of you who don’t know defined a generation and transformed the English music scene into what it is today influencing some of the greatest bands then and now.
I was hooked at 14 (that was 1986 if you’d like to know my age) having robed my my older brothers tapes (and its not just for those art school airheads). They took us from punk and early electronica and the new romantic scene into one of the very first few English indie bands and later then going on to conquer the mainstream with their mix of synths, drum machines and whirling tube screaming guitars over laid with the voice of a tortured misfit with a highly expressive voice and creative lyrics with immaculately timed one liners to blow you away.
Now there part of musical history and bound to release only rehashed compilation albums to sell their new stuff to the iTunes crowd who accept The Cure as part of the mainstream establishment sad that is as I so miss that raw edge and the underground is always much more fun.
Check this track out: The Kiss taken from the 1987 Album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me.
Russell Brand will play a swashbuckling 14th century hero in a new action comedy. The former NME Awards host, who is currently starring in comedy Get Him To The Greek, is in talks to play the title role in Hawkwood, based on the life of 14th century mercenary John Hawkwood. Hawkwood was a gifted swordsman off dubious morality who was paid to fight on behalf […]
